what do I think

Hi! I hope everyone is doing good. Me, well, my husband stopped doing himself infront of the computer after I tried to talk to him. (im sorry if im using inappropriate words, i don't mean to offend anyone) And now he seem to be back in the habit. And, he's about to be on duty at a whole other country for a year!(my husband is in the military)and he can only visit once after six months; and he seem to be excited that he can keep doing it there and I wouldn't be there with him to say anything. what do u guys think?

I think he has come up with a way to justify this behavior. It is like...."feel sorry for me....I have been serving in the military so can't you just grant me this one thing?"  It is great what he is doing for his country. But it is not an excuse to use porn in a marriage. I don't care if he is in Michigan, Texas, Canada, Japan, or Iraq.....he is still a married man and he needs to honor his marriage.

 

I saw that Dr Phil's show tomorrow is suppose to talk to a man who uses porn. I think the man in this episode is addicted to it. I think it would be good to watch it. Maybe tape it and share it with your husband. Maybe he needs to hear the message from someone else. Good luck and I wish you the best.

I just found porn pictures on our new computer - found them on our shared computer a couple weeks ago - but he put it on my older son (he is 22) who use to live with us.  I believed him.  But seeing that my son now lives in the states and we are in Japan- he couldn't have done it.  He is TDY (Temp Duty Station) and I was downloading pictuers into the new computer and up comes pictures of women in different postions.  Needless to say I was shocked, hurt and confused.  Like normal he is out of town when things hit the fan - so over the phone we have been trying to work this out.  He goes off to Iraq in a couple of months - and I am sure this will carry on there too. 

 

My issue with porn comes from a childhood that I have never talked about with any one but my husband.  And I think that is what hurts the most - he knew how I felt about it.  My father had Playboys all over the house and when I was in High School I caught him peeping at me in a hole he made in the door.  So I always felt that looking at magazines and such drove him to this practice.  Now that I am grown - I should realize that this was his issue and not mine - but hard to make that leap.  All those feelings are flooding back from those teenage years - and I am not sure how to forgive my husband for doing this to me all over again. 

 

Am I crazy????
